holy hell that’s a good signing

 

[Wreckus]

2 x 3 is great

Yup

What? Ridiculously cheap.

So I'm guessing 2 scenarios:

-Kane is going on LTIR at the beginning of the season

-We trade Ceci and McLeod with 1 more defensive signing.

Kane may start on the LTIR according to JJ comments to Spector. As of now, that remains the most likely way the Oilers are affording this all-in approach.

He’s played his last game as an Oiler. Whether he starts October on LTIR or another team remains to be seen, but the direction this team is taking on Kane is pretty clear and has been since Knob sat him early in the finals. Can’t say I mind.

 

[WaitingForUser]

JJ is amazing there I said it

 

[foshizzle]

Kane definitely going on LTIR or someone getting traded.

On March 1 his full NTC becomes a 16 team modified trade clause. That might be the play here

JJ is a closer. The opposite of Holland tbh.

 

[sepHF]

Can JJ just be our GM plz?

 

[CycloneSweep]

Ceci or Kane on LTIR

 

[MoontoScott]

I am not all that surprised that Henrique would choose Edmonton over Anaheim.

Obviously the McDavid effect has its magic but Anaheim and the L.A. area have emerging issues that are very serious. A number of people in Hollywood have left for different pastures. Big tax hit in California too and talk of more tax increases. Record high budget deficits.

 

[Mr Positive]

Ok gotcha but they'd still need to be cap compliant at some point during the season when he returns unless it's full season LTIR which doesn't seem plausible almost 10 months out.

Imo it isn't an issue. It's not like the league would be willing to let any team default on the cap. If we have to be dishonest and keep Kane there extra long or stick someone else there, nobody will call us out on it other than impotent fans of rival teams

 

[McFlyingV]

Holy f*** we actually have a 2nd PP unit.

Kane-Arvidsson-Skinner-Henrique-Broberg/Nurse.

 

[TheNumber4]

A healthy Kane pulling a Mark Stone for G1 in the playoffs next season for the Oilers.
Jeff Jackson f***ing masterclass.

HAVE to think it'll happen now. JJ aint f***in around, 100% efficiency in his GMing. He won't let that oppurtunity go to waste like Holland did.

ABCs.
Always be closing.

 

[Seachd]

If they could get Kylington for the screwjob factor alone, July 1 could almost be a national holiday.

 

[Shizuka]

So guys

RNH - McD - Hyman
Skinner - Drai - Arvidsson
Janmark - Henrique - Brown
Holloway - McLeod - Perry

Ekholm - Bouch
Broberg - Ceci
Nurse - Stecher

Looking good! Man that depth. Does that mean Kane is LTIR? Do they trade him? I don't even know.. regular season starts in like 3 and a half months.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Flames & Canucks fans after comparing their day to ours (so far):

 

[OilerTyler]

He’s played his last game as an Oiler. Whether he starts October on LTIR or another team remains to be seen, but the direction this team is taking on Kane is pretty clear and has been since Knob sat him early in the finals. Can’t say I mind.

I don't think the team is trying to go a different direction, I think Kane is just really injured.

But I guess none of us know for sure.

 

[FiveFourteenSixOne]

RICO IS BACK! HOLY f*** YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Old Boys Club]

Kane on LTIR, Ceci traded at deadline with 2026 1st for upgrade.

PERFECT TERM. Fair for him, fair for us.

At 3M there should be value here too. Henrique can bring more than 3M of play.
